I plan to expand into farming to grow and sell produce as part of my existing food business.
  • Other experience/agricultural/business training - I own La Pax Foods, a registered food business, and have food safety certification.

Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
No - I am exploring funding options and assessing the financial resources required to establish the farm. I am interested in identifying suitable grants, financing opportunities, and other support that may help with land access, initial setup, and farm infrastructure.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
Yes - I am looking for grants, cost-sharing programs, and other suitable funding opportunities to support farm establishment, including land preparation, essential infrastructure, equipment, and initial production costs. I am also open to exploring low-interest loans or other financing options where appropriate. I would appreciate guidance on programs available to new farmers and people expanding an existing food business into farming.

Farm Name
La Pax Foods Farm
Farm Project Description

I am the owner of La Pax Foods, a registered food business, and have experience growing food in a home garden, sharing produce with family and friends, and developing and selling food products through a commissary kitchen and farmers' markets. I also have food safety certification and a background in Biochemistry. My goal is to establish a sustainable family farm that produces food for local markets and expands the range of products offered through La Pax Foods. I want to contribute to local food security while building a viable farming operation that uses responsible growing practices, prioritizes soil health, and supports long-term productivity. I plan to cultivate vegetables and other suitable food crops using organic and regenerative growing practices. I also intend to raise laying hens for egg production, keep small ruminants such as goats and sheep, and explore beekeeping. The specific mix of crops and livestock will depend on the land available, local regulations, infrastructure, and the practical requirements of each activity. I am seeking approximately 0.5 to 3 acres in South Surrey, Surrey, Delta, or Langley, preferably within a 10–25-minute drive of White Rock, British Columbia. I am particularly interested in a multi-year land lease with access to water, suitable infrastructure or permission to develop it, and the flexibility to grow crops and keep permitted livestock. I am also interested in guidance and funding opportunities that can help me develop the farm and strengthen its long-term sustainability.
